Antithesis is the fourth studio album by American technical death metal band Origin.

But be forewarned -- there's not an ounce of melody detected anywhere (just front to back metallic brutality), as evidenced by such over the top assaults as the album opener, "The Aftermath," as well as "Consuming Misery" and "Wrath of Vishnu," among others.

which gave the album 4 stars, the band "...once again pack in more untrammelled ferocity and sheer sonic destruction than can be good for anyone's health".

"The album hurtles by on a torrent of almost inhuman blasting, technical fret mangling and the vomitous vocal of James Lee.

While there is always a problem that music that relentless can become a little one-dimensional, the blistering intensity demands your attention from violent start to battered finish", reviewer Dan Slesser writes, picking out "the jaw-dropping" 9.5 minute closing title track as the CD's highlight which "definitely slams the door in the face of all corners".
